The village of Haru lies within the Gedeo zone in the south of Ethiopia. Here, 2820 smallholder farmers cultivate coffee in their backyards and deliver their harvest to the Harusuke washing station, established by Abrheam Mengiste in 2017.
This coffee is naturally organic, as landrace varieties harmonise with the
environment, providing organic fertiliser and natural pest control. The varieties are well-known for their elevated acidity and dense complex fruits.


During harvest, only red cherries are hand-picked. The coffee is depulped within 8 to 12 hours of being harvested and is transferred to fermentation tanks for 48 to 72 hours. Following fermentation, the coffee is washed to before moving to African drying beds. The drying process takes 8 to 10 days, with hand-picking and rotation to ensure uniform drying.
This coffee is sourced by Primrose Coffee, a vertically integrated company with 20 years of experience in Ethiopian green coffee exports and a proud member of the Ethiopian Chapter of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance.
